Here's the latest off my bench a few days ago:

Alfie Smith is a great Canadian Blues player/singer who bought a Gambler 12 string from me.

So he had me build a matching 6 string.

He detailed every aspect of the guitar-I never had anyone do that before. It was a very "fun" build for that reason.

Triple O shaped body with a 12 fret neck join (like the Martin Norman Blake model) 24.9" scale adjustable truss rod 1-13/16 " wide at nut 2-5/16" string spacing at bridge medium V shaped neck.

Honduran mahogany back sides and neck,Adirondack Red spruce top. Ebony bridge and fretboard. bone bridge pins, nut and compensated saddle, K and K pickup

Traditionally Ladder Braced ,dovetail neck joint (my choice)

Gloss black lacquer body/satin black lacquer neck and head

Pearloid binding,head veneer,pickguard,fret markers and heel cap.

slotted headstock with Stew Mac Golden age tuners

The thing sounds great-I am really happy with it.

That is S-W-E-E-T...

I love black guitars and that is definitely a looker!

Cheers,
